C2 Platform Ansible Project

GitLab: c2platform/ansible 

The C2 Ansible Inventory project is a GitLab project that serves as the Ansible Inventory project for the C2 Platform  .

Purpose

This project has two primary objectives:

1. Supporting C2 Development Environment: The RWS C2 Platform Ansible Project is an integral part of the C2 development environment, serving as a cornerstone for the C2 Ansible collections. It provides a structured inventory and automation framework that streamlines the development and management of various Ansible-based tasks and workflows within the C2Platform.
2. Open-Source Reference Implementation: Beyond its role within RWS, this project also operates as an open-source reference implementation. It offers a valuable resource for showcasing diverse automation solutions and exemplifying industry best practices. By doing so, it encourages collaboration and knowledge sharing among the wider automation community.

In summary, the RWS GIS Platform Ansible Project plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of RWS operations while contributing to the broader open-source ecosystem by serving as a model for effective automation practices.

Features

• Pre-configured inventory structure: The project includes a well-organized inventory structure with pre-defined host and group configurations, making it easier to manage and scale the Ansible deployments.
• Group variables and vault files: The project incorporates group variables and vault files to securely store sensitive data, ensuring that confidential information remains protected during provisioning and deployment.
• Extensive Ansible collections and roles: The project demonstrates a wide range of Ansible collections and roles specifically developed for the C2 Platform. These can be used as a reference to understand best practices and implementation details for various tasks.
• The project has configuration for the creation of all kinds of services using Ansible. For a better understanding of its scope, capabilities refer to the how-to section.
